[HTML5] Export/Import save data

[caranille]

Hi guys,


i'm making my own game with RPG Maker MV but i have an question.


Is that a plugin exist to export and Import the savedata in a file ?


Exemple: i have became the game and i save my progression but i want to continue the game in other computer or smartphone.


Because if my gamers use ccleaner or update her browser they lost her save ^^


Thanks for your answer


Regards

I made this a while ago, so you may try if it suits your needs: http://pastebin.com/pGkW3Ssv


It's not a full plugin, though, since it was mainly used for debugging.

Thanks for your help and for understand me (because i'm french and i don't speak english like you )


But i am an newbie on JS ^^ why use it ? i copy/past in on an js file and i add it in the plugin folder ?


And why you don't make an official plugin for this ? Because make an HTML5 game but can't keep the save is weird


Regards and thanks very much for you help, i test it in the evening

I'll see what i can do. It's been a while, since i wrote a proper plugin, so that might be a good opportunity to remove some of the rust

I have read your help in the file header but i'm lost


Have you an exemple for use it ? You say it


To export a savefile from local web storage to a file, call the following function:
  IAVRA.SAVEMANAGER.exportWebStorage(savefileId);


and for import use it IAVRA.SAVEMANAGER.importWebStorage(savefileId);


but where can i add this for add an sub menu into my game for launch it

As i said, it's not a real plugin, so there are no visual elements, only JavaScript functions. I made a new version, that's not quite finished:


/*:
* @plugindesc v0.01 Offers a number of functions to export saves to files and import them again.
* @author Iavra
*/

(function($, undefined) {
"use strict";

/**
* Loads a given file, parses its content as json and passes it to a given callback. Throws an exception, if the
* file can't be loaded.
*/
var _loadFile = function(url, callback) {
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.overrideMimeType('application/json');
request.open('GET', url);
request.onload = function() { callback(JsonEx.parse(LZString.decompressFromBase64(request.responseText))); };
request.onerror = function() { throw new Error('Couldn\'t load the file \'' + url + '\'.'); };
request.send();
};

/**
* Creates a download with the given data under the given filename. JavaScript can't write directly to the file
* system, unless we are using Node.js, which can't be guaranteed.
*/
var _saveFile = function(filename, data) {
var element = document.createElement('a');
var encoded = encodeURIComponent(LZString.compressToBase64(JsonEx.stringify(data)));
element.setAttribute('href', 'data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,' + encoded);
element.setAttribute('download', filename);
if (document.createEvent) {
var event = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
event.initEvent('click', true, true);
element.dispatchEvent(event);
} else { element.click(); }
};

//=============================================================================
// IAVRA.SAVE
//=============================================================================

$.SAVE = {
export: function(id) {
var info = DataManager.loadSavefileInfo(id), data = StorageManager.load(id);
if(!info || !data) { throw new Error('Couldn\'t find the savefile \'' + id + '\'.'); }
_saveFile('%1.save'.format(id.padZero(3)), {info: info, data: data});
},
import: function(id, url) {
var globalInfo = DataManager.loadGlobalInfo();
_loadFile(url, function(data) {
globalInfo[id] = data.info;
DataManager.saveGlobalInfo(globalInfo);
StorageManager.save(id, data.data);
})
}
}

})(this.IAVRA || (this.IAVRA = {}));


It offers 2 functions:


IAVRA.SAVE.export(id);
IAVRA.SAVE.import(id, url);


The first one exports the given save to a file and opens a download window. The second one takes the url to such a file and imports it under the given savefile id.


That said, the export currently only really works in web mode (game opened in browser) and not in local mode (testplay in MV, for example), since i can't get the download to work.

Yes i understand,


If you can't export and import if the game is not in an http server it's normal, beacause it's use the webstorage and the webstorage work with an domaine (Exemple: http://localhost) but not work with file://index.html


Okay if i undertsand it i copy past this code in js.file i add this on the index.html with src and i call the function with my form choice (button etc...) ?


i follow you if you continue it
